Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress at the beginning of 2026, a shock move following a tumultuous year that saw her split from longtime ally Donald Trump.
In her lengthy statement and 10-minute video, she now refers to Trump as ‘hateful’ for potentially backing a primary challenger despite her consistent defense of the president.
The Georgia Republican also said that she was leaving to spend more time with her family and due to disgust with the process of working in Washington, as well as facing constant death threats.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.
Greene expressed profound frustration with her own party’s inability to get anything done despite controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress in 2025.
‘Almost one year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined, we endured an eight week shutdown wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on,’ she said.
It comes just one week after a back and forth with Trump over social media caused a schism in the MAGA base.

He posted on Truth Social shortly after Greene shared a measured statement of her own, following their online screaming match Friday.
In it, he branded the Georgia Representative as ‘Marjorie Taylor Brown’ adding: ‘Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!’.
In a follow up post, he also labelled her ‘Marjorie Traitor Greene’, after saying she ‘betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left.’
Greene and Trump traded social media barbs last Friday, with Greene sharing screenshots of texts she sent to Trump about the Epstein files.
Trump kickstarted the spat – including an admission that he advised her not to run for Senate in 2026 – on Truth Social earlier that evening.
She advised him to ‘lean in’ to former President Bill Clinton’s connections to the pedophile, Trump ordered an investigation into Clinton on Friday.
In a second screenshot, Greene responded to a text from ‘NH’ that appeared to be fuming about her Trump criticisms, stating: ‘THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN HOAX.’
Greene replied: ‘In every single interview I have done I have defended President Trump.
‘I’ve said over and over the women say he did nothing wrong and their attorney says he’s the only one who helped.
‘And the Democrats had 4 years to release the files but did nothing’, NH is an apparent reference to the president’s assistant Natalie Harp.
Greene adds: ‘Stop ignoring the women. Many of them literally voted for President Trump and say so publicly. Them being raped as teenagers is not a hoax.’
This is a developing story.
